I believe most of us are familiar with World AIDS Day. Well, it was started in 1988 by the World Health Organization. World AIDS Day is observed every year on December 1st. So yeah, I did photography for a youth geared World AIDS day event at Q’4 (Quennect 4). Q’4 is an independently run and own art gallery/event space/art space. I really like this place, the gals/guys there are great and the events held there are good. You could call it underground but what is underground anyhow? I’m there often.

The photo; as I walked around in photographer mode I noticed the teen sitting at the table. It struck me, and perhaps just me but to see him sketching with what seemed to be no direct acknowledgement of his surroundings was very interesting. Of course, he had to have noticed the items on the table but the way it looked to me, he seemed to be taken away by his work. As usual, one can say a lot about a photo but I like the juxtaposition of him and the items on the table. For me It’s a reminder of how old sexual norms and mores are being re-interpreted and explored. It reminds me that sexuality is not just about sex but it also could be, and how we need to educate ourselves and others on the many things that surround us regarding it.

I’m just adding text to my photography (an experiment).

Hey, my name is Jhonathan F. Gómez and this blog is here for a few reasons. One; to re-connect with the tech/web world. I help on a few other blogs and maintain similar "things of this nature" but I haven't held a personal blog in a really long time. Two; I guess I aim to journal, meditate, analyze and comment on my own photography. It helps the creative process they say... I'm not a writer, so this will also help my writing -I hope. And last, to experiment with and explore the relationship between an image and text. It's like I'm talking to myself.
